Looks cool!
The music was an amazing choice!
Awesome graphics and music!
There is two problems : one time on two, the cards loose their text then I dont know what to do. The second problem is cause of the death is not very clear, and maybe we loose very fast.
But the idea to make a Noe's Arc game like this is very nice, graphics are very nice and animations are perfects. The music you have choosen is perfect, but it become quickly repetitive.
I hope the text's cards problem would be patched soon to play it again ! (sorry for my english I'm french)
I had a really fun time playing this!! Super creative idea. I like how the animals 'talk' to you in a sense.
Fun idea :)
It's a shame there is an issue with invisible cards and I agree with @monkey-knight. I died 2 times and I didn't really know why.
Please @me once the cards issue is fixed, I'd love to play this game to completion!
Liked the mood. The humor u used was also a lot of fun. Some things were unexpected, but that made it more fun to play.
@alpharock6 @leniwabula @monkey-knight I think the issue is fixed ;)
Really nice entry team. Like the concept and the mood keep it up !
@flashviper @kr4sh3 Thank You :)
Really nice game I really enjoy the story! I'm going to try to stay alive untill the end :)
Also I had a problem when resuming game options were set to the first day questions, but I didn't impact the choices made before (yeah I was trying to figure a way to stay alive)
@kisilin Thanks for the feedback, could you explain your problem better, because I don't quite understand its essence.
It's a fun concept but a little too random for my taste, God is a prick.
Amazing take on the theme! The writing and the jokes are super and the music really lifts up the funny mood. Died quite a few times, but really enjoyed going forward with the story! Maybe some choices felt a bit "easy" or forced and I kinda chose by humor and not by looking at resources that much. Great work really and I swear Hedwig you should break up with that guy.
Oooh I like! I like a lot how to guys implemented the theme! I will admit I was completely ignoring most of the stats and playing by heart which is probably why... I was trying to be nice and help out and died of hypothermia as a consequence :sob: why
Good job! The game is really fun (even though God is pretty unfair :p)
Lovely. Love Pirate style games. Also, comments are hilarious. Moral options, lol. Great entry.
I tried several times, but couldn't get beyond day 27. It reminds me of the theme from a couple LDs ago, "that escalated quickly." Fun to see the unexpected consequences and try different paths.
I liked the game - really nice humor. good job.
Crazy panda. great and funny game! score.jpg
Amazing game! Good job, guys!
@rufson U are first winner, I hope that you liked the end.
Hahaha, this was as funny as it was brutal. Great production values, writing, etc... well done!!
Some great humor and references, it felt like a lot of trail and error but its well executed and feels like a fully finished game
Very funny! A lot of fun to play.
@primalshadow Thanks :)
This is a really fun concept and the humor is fantastic. Death was far too common and random in my playthrough. To the point where I actually quit out of frustration because it felt like making a choice was a random 50/50 for death. It's the equivilent of an enemy attack in an action game, but without any telegraphing, if that makes sense. It felt extremely unfair.
@rk3omega Thanks for feedback. We didn't have much time to write the story, which is why we focused on humor and unexpected twists. After all, nobody said that being an ark captain would be easy, right?
Screenshot 2020-04-21 at 23.26.05.png I tried. But god messes around with me too much xD this is how far I could get.
Had a lot of fun. There was a weird glitch after 2 days I kept just randomly getting a game over from the previous game. But otherwise the game had a lot of interesting and fun scenarios.
@caveman54 Thanks for feedback, could you explain your problem better, because we try to fix all the bugs, but we must reproduce them first.
@taran-unraveler Thanks for feedback and welcome to the best Ark captain list.
Great music and great humor. But the game got really boring in the end as I kept having to do the same thing.
@pusheeneiro I played one game and then hit menu. Upon playing my next game the 2nd day was replaced with a game over screen. Kinda specific so it's not really important now that I figured out what it was but when I played it was just kinda weird.
@caveman54 OK, Thanks for your time.
I really enjoyed the story and humour of this game, I also found it surprisingly difficult to keep the peace and stay alive! The music was also very good and added to the funny mood. Great game <3 x
Just played! very nice! Probably I will tweet about this in the next day on this page https://twitter.com/Free_IndieGames !
@bongooo Thanks for your time and comment.
Fun game! It is difficult to get the right choice and dying but I think its about the right difficulty the art is really cool and the music is good. Overall really nice job!
@heyllopotato Thanks!!! :D
That's a really cool game ! I played for nearly a half hour without even going further than day 20 but the music, the humour and the graphics made me stay. Very nice one !
This game had a great sense of humor that really carried it along. It was a great game to play on stream and I really appreciate the complexities that seem to have gone into it :)

Never knew I wanted that, but I really wanted that o:
Really love the humour of your game, really right up my alley :D That being said, usually in these type of games there's a common logic behind answers, sometimes I really felt screwed over by the game. Maybe give indications of what which card does? I understand that you probably deliberately chose against doing that, though.
What was also really weird is how I had playthrough after playthrough landing at Day 19 approximately, and then, when it finally clicked, I made it to day 40. That is because after a certain storyline ended, the cards just repeated from the beginning, so there was no problem making it to the end.
Overall though it's really a great game you did there and I had a lot of good laughs from it :D Thank you for your hard work!

Very cool, i love the music, great scene transitions and moral choices that turn sour just for fun. Nice one!
I really liked this a lot! I found halfway through the game it repeated itself on some choices, and I was able to keep making the right choices to reach the 40 day mark. Overall I think it was pretty funny, great theme, and it was a good time playing and rewarding at the end.Capture.JPG
Fun game. Typos were a little distracting from the humor but I got the jokes generally. The decisions felt a little capricious at times, so I felt like I was just guessing sometimes. The humor had a pretty good balance between sacrilegious and respectful(?maybe that's the word). Any time you tackle a topic like religion or politics, you run a lot of risks. I think you pulled this off fairly well. Good game. I enjoyed playing all the way to the end.
Where were my monkey bodyguards when I needed them most? I love this kind of "management" style game, balancing out certain faction allegiances. Really well done. If you have any pictures of the elusive mouseDeer let me know.

@trexxak Thanks for feedback and welcome on The best Ark captain list.
@wzqxrys Thanks.
@axefall Welcome on The best Ark captain list and thanks you for your time.
@terristen Thank you for opinion. We didn't have so much time, so we decided to add some humorous deaths. Deaths may seem illogical, but you they think it over, they just follow twisted logic.
@jake-marks Thank for feedback and playing our game on Twitch. It's a mouse deer wiki for U https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrotain
@jake-marks Thanks for feedback and here is the cutie you asked for ;) 293884104_6103490998001_6103485370001-vs.jpg
Hah, I liked having Monkey bodyguards. I'm sure there have to be a lot of different branching paths for this game, it's going to take a long while to get through them all.
Super! Very fun!
I love that this is based on a true story! Great decisions and funny consequences. A lot of work went into this, and it shows!
Not bad at all! It was sort of frustrating for me because it felt like i had no control over the game. I just clicked text boxes and random things would happen to me. Perhaps get rid of the random element so that the player can actually impact the game's systems in any way? I loved the text on the cards though, verrrrrry surreal
@blue-pin-studio We didn’t have much time to write the story, which is why we focused on humor and unexpected twists. After all, nobody said that being an ark captain would be easy, right?
This was an amazing use of the theme! Terrific artwork, sound design, and story! The best part was the humor. Very well done all around. I could see this expanded upon where there are multiple outcomes for choices.
The music was really loud at first, i had to turn it down a lot to comfortably listen to it, maybe having it start at a lower volume would be nice. Having separate, adjustable volume sliders for the effects and the music was really useful in this case! I loved the questions and the game made me laugh on multiple occasions! On my best go i made it to day 20 Untitled.png
I like the setting very much. Also graphics are really nice as well as the music (with the latter becoming a little repetetive over time).
The one problem I had with the game is the gameplay itself. I didn't really get what I was supposed to do. The choices, while funny, felt very random. In the end I failed my way through and learned the answers where I wasn't dieing by heart.
In the end I still enjoyed the ride because of the nice humour :)
@yorisfresh Welcome on The best Ark captain list and thanks for your feedback.
Awesome game! Loved playing it on stream :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/600641777
full of humor here :laughing: simple graphics and cool audio. this game really made my day. excellent work :thumbsup:
Really nice setting with full of dozens of humorous content. Pretty good UI. The only problem is consequences are too much random but I don't mind if this issue sacrificed for humour. Fun to play!
As I said, I played it again, and it was a lot of fun!

Hello! Your game was played during my stream! Day 40, Animal Count 37.
If you want to know the timestamp of when your game was played you can see it in this spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/yau8hjzn
And then look in my latest videos and find your game being play (after the current stream ends) https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos
I like the idea of being Noe and managing animals on the ship. The graphics are pleasant and the music is enjoyable.
But while playing I encountered few issues: - the story seems to be 0-1 situation, where there is only one perfect solution. I felt I had no impact on the story, I just needed to find the right answers. - I didn't like that one decision (like removing my shirt) can make me suddenly dead. It was very anticlimactic. I would rather have some health bar and every sniffles from cold, accidents would deplete my life eventually. That way I would be able to try to shield my health in some cases. - the graphic is nice but I find it strange that when the text talks about kangaroo I see a giraffe. - usually I had a choice between two sides, but sometimes I didn't, but it wasn't clear when. So I had to move my mouse from one paper to the other and see if then it will get a tint to make sure I can click it.
I hope you will develop this game some more and will add to the story, because there is a nice potential. Good luck!
Best, Anna from 4boa team
Pretty fun idea! The concept of Noah's arc is a clever choice for the theme. Fun entry!
Very engaging game. Graphics were pleasant and music complimented them nicely. Very nice job!
I had two events repeat in the same 40-day run, with exactly the same outcome - which is a shame, as it broke the immersion a bit. I had fun overall and lost only a cat and an elephant.

I also found a typo. Should be God, not Got ;) Screenshot_1.png
Also, look out for Polish government now - they are probably already on their way to get you for some kind of blasphemy :wink:
I actually managed to get the farthest on my first attempt. In most tries after that god just kills me ;_;
Great graphics and the music suits the game so well. But the way player dies is just confusing. I feel like there is a scenario made so no matter what I choose if it is not the right one, I would end up dying. Anyway good job.
Great game! gg
It is a nice idea and it has cute humor. It's pity that many situations has one correct decision and other is fatal. Nevertheless, good job!
Great! Well written, and I really appreciate the nice responsive UI. I did not love having to click back through everything after death, but the UI made it pretty painless.
I feel like instead of a death/restart having wrong decisions just affect stats would have felt better.
The game had nice writing, music suited and and graphical representation did too
I managed to die really fast in the first run, but on the second I managed to get past day 40.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for us to check out. If you'd like to rewatch the video, you can find the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/617255765
Very funny game and wonderful UI design. It reminded me a lot of Reigns (swipe left or right to rule a kingdom!) with small decisions quickly snowballing into something uncontrollable. I felt that the game was a little too punishing and didn't leave me any other options than to memorize the optimal path and try again but at least I learned something: "Mess with the honk and you get the bonk". Well that and that god loves trolling for the lulz. Here's my latest stream featuring the game, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP012VKTPV8
Wow, that was great! I love the game design, sounds, music and the gameplay. My mouseDeer died each time tho :pensive: 5/5, amazing entry!
I przesyłam pozdrowienia :D
